International Journal of Supervision in Psychotherapy, Number 8, 2026 Page | 110 Maintaining clarity, respecting the methods and hygiene around setting up of creative methods and clearing the spaces afterwards is an important part of the supervisory process [6, 7, 8]. Staying relevant to the question while using the method purposefully can help create a mutual mental space of ease and transformation [7]. The Ukrainian supervision group continues to gather online, via Zoom, in Ukraine and five different European countries: Grece, the UK, Germany. Portugal and myself in France. Towards the end of supervision, everyone is invited to participate in creative collaboration by offering their observations. Creative, embodied methods offer moments for resourcing, reflection and support as well as a means of checking self-regulation in supervision. In times of war, maintaining a balance between vulnerability and resilience, we need to implement more layers of self-care to prevent burnout and to offer trauma-informed supervision in deployed military settings [35]. There is still more research needed to sharpen our focus and establish how to best manage the Trauma Resilience Model and Trauma-Informed Supervision Model within creative embodied supervision.
